Trailer: PressPausePlay Probes Digital Era’s Creative Explosion

“In the olden days of 30, 40, 50 years ago, people didn’t make things,” Moby says in the trailer above, premiered exclusively by Wired.com. “You know, like some people would go to photography exhibits, people would go buy records, and there were professional artists. And now everybody’s a photographer, everybody’s a filmmaker, everybody’s a writer, everybody’s a musician.”

While people with stacks of Polaroids, reels of Super 8 film or cassette tapes from their garage-band jams might quibble with Moby’s modern view of things, there’s no denying the explosion of creative opportunities afforded by the digital revolution.

PressPausePlay, subtitled “a film about fear, hope and digital culture,” was directed by David Dworsky and Victor Köhler. No release date has been set yet.See Also:
